The building of the Berlin Wall was ordered by Walter Ulbricht, leader of the East German communist SED party (Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands-Socialist Unity Par â¦ ty of Germany). The main reason for building the Berlin Wall was to prevent a brain drain from East Germany to West Germany.

The Eastern Bloc, under the control of the USSR, fell in 1989, as did the infamous Wall.
